Yorkshire portrait photographer

Natural Yorkshire family photography

For fun loving families who love the outdoors and don’t want to pose !


Little ones grow up so quickly, and as they do you’ll want photos that will hold your memories of how they really are and how your family feels when you’re together. Without directing you, I create an atmosphere that allows kids and grownups to be themselves and enjoy being in front of the camera.

I focus on family photography at a wide range of lovely locations in Leeds, Harrogate, York, Manchester and The Lakes, and I am happy to travel further afield. Please get in touch to book your session. 

Email Kirstyds@gmail.com, ring 07564 953262 or use my contact form and I will get back to you shortly.

Please see the slideshow above for a range of family photography images

Creative, Unposed Family Photography


With a passion for natural portraiture, I bring out the character of individual personalities honestly and creatively. I know exactly how to document authentic moments and interactions between family members whilst also incorporating vibrant colours, textures and beautiful light.

My goal is always to capture your family’s natural expressions, quirks, personalities and spirit in a way that shows who they are, whether that be a shy, contemplative, energetic or a wild and cheeky personality.

Bringing the beauty of the landscape into your images, and making everyone feel at ease, the results of my sessions reveal the real you and the unique qualities that make each of your family members so unique.

FAMILY PHOTOSHOOTS IN YORK, LEEDS, MANCHESTER AND BEYOND

“The photos Kirsty took of our family are the best we have ever seen. The quality of the photos is outstanding. We gave many of our family and friends prints of the images for Christmas and everyone commented on how lovely they are. We are absolutely delighted with the images and the service.”

Relaxed, Stree-Free Family Portrait Photography


You don’t want to worry about what you look like. You want to feel comfortable in front of the camera trusting that your photographer will capture you at your best. I’m not interested in fake grins and posing people!  I love getting the best out of people and achieve this by getting to know you, listening closely to your preferences and helping you to relax and really enjoy the photography. It is always my goal to tell your family story with a set of images that you truly love.
